Today we're learning the harmonica introduction to Joni Mitchell's You Turn Me On (I'm a Radio). It's in the key of Eb so that's the harp you'll need if you want to play along to the original. Don't worry if you don't have a Eb harmonica*. You can follow the tabs using any key of a standard diatonic harmonica; you'll just be playing in a different key to the original.
The introduction is great for all levels so give it a go whatever level of player you are.
